Although it's called 'diesel bug' all Fossil fuels suffer. Adding bio fuels make it worse and reduce the 'BTU' of the fuel.
There are many other fuel additives made by endless company's. None do what 'Aquasolve' dose, when fuel gets cold and I mean clold, the water drops out of phase ( basically separates). Fuelset is another product, the best it can do is a micro emulation which separate when cold, so dosnt fully work and still allows the slimy growth you see in picture.
If not treated it will only re populate when next opportunity arrives.
Grate picture of microbial growth in petrol.
Another thing Aquasolve is a biocide with biostatic property's so desolves the slime and returning it to fuel.
